1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Magnetic hydrogels are stimulus-responsive hydrogels with rapid response when placed in a magnetic field. Their properties include those of conventional hydrogels such as biocompatibility, viscoelasticity, and a high content of water, with the addition of magnetic actuation, magnetothermal conductivity, and magnetic resonance conferred by the magnetic particles. Their use in the biomedical field is constantly growing, with various applications such as drug delivery, hyperthermia treatment, theranostic, and tissue engineering. Since the research field of magnetic hydrogels is very dynamic, it is important to review the literature regularly to highlight the most recent insights of the field. In this review, we focused on the latest advances of magnetic hydrogels and give a large overview on their types, fabrication, properties, and applications in hyperthermia, drug delivery, wound healing, MRI, sensors, and tissue engineering (neural, cartilage, bone, and cardiac tissues). We concluded this review with challenges and future developments of magnetic hydrogels.
